Should I worry about mold in my son's closet?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, it's understandable to be worried about the musty smell and potential mold growth in your son’s closet. In the UAE, especially after rainy spells, such issues can arise due to increased humidity levels that create an ideal environment for mold and mildew to thrive.

In Dubai, indoor air quality and environmental conditions are closely regulated under the Building Control Regulations issued by the Department of Economic Development (DED). While these regulations focus on ensuring buildings meet certain standards post-construction, they don't specifically address ongoing maintenance issues like mold. However, it's crucial for your family’s health to take steps now.

Firstly, inspect the closet thoroughly. Look out for signs of moisture such as discoloration or patches on walls and floor, especially near carpeted areas where water may collect. If you notice any of these, it could indicate that mildew is starting to form.

If you find evidence of mold, it’s advisable to call in professionals for a thorough inspection.

To prevent future issues, make sure the closet is properly ventilated and any excess moisture is removed. Consider using a dehumidifier to keep humidity levels down. Regular cleaning with a solution of water and bleach can also help control mildew growth.

Remember, early detection and action are key in managing indoor mold problems. Don’t hesitate to take steps now to ensure your family’s health and well-being.
